Weedeaters???

**Rees Guide** · 07-12-2015, 10:10 AM

Got the straight shaft but I didnt see a curve shaft with the bigger motor. Anyway, got some of it knocked out this morning and when the wind settles for a little bit I will spray, just been too wet or too winding to spray until now. I hate weedeating but I hate a wussy weedeater even more, if I got to do it I want a machine that will walk!!!!!
Thanks for all the input guys!!

Stihl, chainsaw and eater. I just run the gas out at the end of the year, no prob.

Echo or Stihl. They will last a life time.

I'm sold on Stihl. Still using the 2 stroke model I bought in 1994. Had to replace some shaft bearings a couple years back (unit was not made to cut underwater but the cattails in my pond will argue that it worked just fine. Otherwise no problems. However, I love this rough blade for almost everything 7 " Brushcutter Chain Saw Tooth Blade Fits Stihl Echo Husqvarna More | eBay

My weedeater sees a lot of brushy stuff and with the brush cutter blade and barely needs much more than idle speed to devastate weeds. Trees up to 1-1/2" can use some throttle. Also is easily sharpened.

That blade is what I run on my Stihl 4 stroke.
